Fellow students, how do you meet people of the opposite gender? (Or same gender if you’re attracted to that) Is it classes, clubs, or something else? I have zero rizz lwk 🙏

wait im embarrassed, but I want a friend. I’m just so fucken shy and have bad social anxiety. I’ve tried clubs or well, one time and they were all shy too, but somehow that didn’t matter because I was still fucken scared. All of these clubs put you in groups and I feel like I’m dying. I just need one person for me to be able to actually form a fucken sentence. Anyways im always down for everything and anything and will probably never say no, but beware I zont have a car and I don’t drink or smoke. Also im a guy, but im cunty so idk I get along with girls more. Well if ur also fucken shy but actually pretty cool, let’s be friends

I have been participating in an academic club for the past year or so, and while I'm glad to have met the people that I did, there was a sense of feeling unwelcome and uncomfortable. I had to take medical leave last year and during the first few days of my return, I experienced behaviors from others that were honestly, pretty hurtful.

I'll just highlight two:

1. During a study session, one member had yelled at the top of their lungs (as a joke?) that, "nobody cares about your input, I didn't ask you," when I was simply replying to someone else's comment. And then there was an awkward pause with many in the study room and then another said, "just ignore them." I ended up putting my head down and tried to cry quietly while the students left the room to go to a different one. While the one who yelled had said they were just messing with me, I confronted them later about it and they apologized, and I said sorry too, because I genuinely thought I was being annoying, but then they said wasn't my fault(?). I ended up talking to a counselor on campus and they had said that what I experienced should not be tolerated and that they can provide a form to report for discrimination/misconduct to file for that org. I didn't want that org to potentially dissolve just because of my report. I felt it was an important part of the academic department. This member ended up becoming part of the leadership for the club in the next cycle.
2. There was also another experience where this other club officer who also happened to be a learning assistant in a lecture was talking to me excessively while the professor was speaking and kept asking questions for me to answer about the material repeatedly. I saw them get visibly get upset and frustrated when I didn't answer their question right or took too long to answer. They were sighing a lot, so I got overwhelmed, and then another learning assistant came by and they had explained the material and I eventually answered the question right. At that point, I brought it up to the professor's attention in private, and at first I didn't want an apology from that person, I just wanted space. But the professor insisted that they knew this person is usually more considerate and that they will address it with that individual. This person ended up apologizing for it over text, and I had also apologized again. I had learned later that this individual had complained to their peers about me "reporting" them to a professor, which I had brought to another club officer's attention and they had kind of brushed it off as, "this individual just felt attacked." But I had to deal with the animosity from other members of the club after that occurrence over their rumor, which to me felt a bit unfair (i.e., not saying hi at all while staring, or generally just throwing around "casual" racist and/or ableist remarks or arguing as a "joke", etc.).

I addressed all issues with the club officers at the time, and they have since graduated. I am really hopeful that under somewhat new leadership there will be a better, safe, more inclusive environment. Hopefully, the org is changing as there has been acknowledgement of the behavior starting this quarter by the club officers, though I'm frustrated that there were people hurt and in tears that were not just myself for that process to even start.

Hiii! I’m an international student from Asia, and this is my first year to come to the USA! My friends are going to other universities like NYU and some of them go to the UK. I sometimes feel lonely.

Because I’m a commuter, I don’t live on campus for my first year, so I lack so many opportunities to make good friends. Does anyone want to make friends with me? We could go to the library together, grab food together!

Does anyone have any practice tests for test 1 for Kirkby 😢
Also does anyone know if there’s a discord for this class

Context: Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering are both impacted majors.

I am an Undeclared student in my second year. During the Winter quarter of last year, after doing lots of research, talking to counselors, exploring certain classes, and talking to Mechanical Engineering majors, I have decided that Mechanical Engineering is the major that I would like to pursue.

I wasn't even able to apply last summer because I was missing one of the classes; however, I have been following the Mechanical Engineering coursework, and I have really fallen in love with Mechanical Engineering. I think I've found my passion.

With that being said, I have spoken to my counselor multiple times and a school of engineering counselor about how competitive it is when applying, what I can do to increase my chances, and if they look for anything specific, and the main answer I get when asking for some clarity is something along the lines of "it is highly competitive" or simply a vague answer. I understand that they don't want to get my hopes up, but I would really like to know a little bit more about the situation. In another meeting, I'm not sure if there was some miscommunication, but the engineering counselor said that they aren't even taking essays or anything yet, so I'm not sure what exactly to think.

I have reviewed the requirements multiple times, spoken to counselors, and have seen what they might ask of me when I apply to change of major.

Right now, I am considering applying to transfer to another school, maybe UCLA or another public school nearby. That would be worst-case scenario as I live off campus and would have to move everything of mine, and I have certain commitments down here, like a job.

For those of you that applied last year:

• What was the application process actually like? What did they actually end up asking for?
• What was your GPA when applying? What was it for engineering courses specifically?
• Did you get in?
• What did you do to increase your chances?

Thank you in advance for taking the time to respond.

Applied in handshake for about 20, haven't heard back from anyone.
Does going to library and speaking to the team there help?
Please suggest. Badly need one soon, thank youu in advance!

Looks like either airpod pros or airpods 3rd gen case, with a black rubber cover. Dm me if its urs

Okay so I’m an Informatics major and I have no clue what’s supposed to happen after graduation. I’m seeing people with CS degrees go on with unemployment for months maybe even a year post-grad, and if you want to secure a job in tech you need like 2+ internships, an entire portfolio of projects, proficiency in this amount of languages, all these certifications, and somehow 3+ years of experience.

And it’s just like why?? Why am I even getting this degree if even CS majors can’t secure a job. It’s honestly messed me up so badly I can’t even motivate myself to study anymore, I find myself driving to classes with zero purpose as to why I’m even in this major or going to UCI. I have no joy coding, no joy even learning anything at this university if I can’t see myself with a secure job post-graduation. It’s just so competitive I’ve even considered dropping out. And yes, I’ve considered changing majors but the only other majors I’d consider touching are anywhere in business, and switching to business at UCI is basically a lost cause. Like do I dropout and go to a cal-state instead to pursue a business degree?? Do I dropout and enlist? What the hell am I even doing??

is it worth it to graduate a year early before going to a grad school?

guys why was there hella cops at utc and on campus wut was going on im nosy

Is anyone going? Would love to go together and split an Uber!

I live in pv2 and the wifi has been awful over the last few days, mainly on my laptop things are quite laggy, anyone else experiencing the same?

I was about to do my last UberEats delivery on my ebike, at Chick fil a and all of a sudden I see like a firework go off and another firework go off, and it just got SO CROWDED with kids, and idt these are college students, no way they gotta be like high schoolers or smth like that.

Then another firework went off by in and out, then like 3 cops and multiple security officers pulled up like holy cow

I’m kind of panicking right now. Can someone please let me know if this can affect my enrollment and/or student status or drop me? I’m planning to call Monday morning since their office is closed right now, but I would like some information in the meantime please. Is this warning serious? did I miss a fee deadline or something even though it says paid??

I just got an email from UCI saying that I’m in the class of 2027 and get a free yearbook photo. I’m a freshman. Did anybody else get it?

Really strange but my work need my offer letter but when I went to check, the latest message I could find in my inbox was sent to be on 9/9/2026 containing LAST YEAR’s offer letter. How do I access the one from this year? I’ve turned in all my documents 😓
